To find the vertex of the function \( h(t) = -16t^2 + 64t \), which represents the height of the ball over time, we can use the formula for the vertex of a quadratic function \( t = -\frac{b}{2a} \).

In this function:
- \( a = -16 \)
- \( b = 64 \)

Calculating the time at which the maximum height is reached:

\[
t = -\frac{64}{2 \cdot -16} = -\frac{64}{-32} = 2 \text{ seconds}
\]

Next, we can find the maximum height by substituting \( t = 2 \) back into the height equation:

\[
h(2) = -16(2^2) + 64(2) = -16(4) + 128 = -64 + 128 = 64 \text{ feet}
\]

Thus, we can fill in the blanks in the sentence:

The vertex of the rock's path indicates the rock took **2** seconds to reach its maximum height of **64** feet. Looking at the graph of this function, we can see the domain in context to this situation is 0 to 4 because the ball **returns to the ground (height = 0)**.
